Dented Pipe on motor side

[fbonneville]

Greets,

My Pro Circuit pipe has a big dent on the inside on the motor side and I don't think that it's normal.

My problem is that if I take the dent out, the pipe will no longer fit on the bike.

Is this something that happens a lot and how do I remedy this?

does it look like a nice dent or one that looks like someone hit it with a punch? some pipes come from the factory with a dent there so it wont touch the cylinder. i know mines did.

It does look very similar in shape as the cylinder head. I have a 99 RM125 in case that makes a difference.

The 99 RM125 I had previously also had the "dent" in the pipe. It is there for clearance between the pipe and cylinder . If you take the dent out it will not fit correctly. It will also stick out quite a bit more than it does currently.
